The proto pitons were a pair of climbing tools that served as Onewa's Toa tools when he was a Toa Metru.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Onewa used them to channel his elemental power of stone.3 Onewa could also use them to climb buildings and swing from one to another.3
Onewa selected these tools from a compartment in the Toa Suva when he first became a Toa.8, 9 When Onewa was mutated into a Toa Hordika, the proto pitons mutated into claw clubs. When Keetongu cured him, the proto pitons returned to their original form.CN They transformed into Onewa's stone hammer when he became a Turaga.10, 11, 12
